Sometimes I like to try and meet a challenge that has been set on a cardmaking or scrapbooking blog. Today I met the challenge set on http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/. I followed the recipe given and here is the card that I made. Photographing it at night hasn’t done it justice. The colours look a lot better [...]

I Love My Oval Punch!
As a demonstrator, I have been able to buy items from the Mini Catalogue before April. And I can now say that I am completely in love with the oval punches! They are so easy to use, and the oval punch stamps are such a perfect fit. I love it when everything is so well planned! [...]

Giraffe Card
I’m still in love with the Wild About You stamp set. It’s so perfect for cards for little boys! And I love the Jumbo Wheels as well. They’re so easy to use – even my 3 year old can use it – and he loves them! I used … Certainly Celery card stock (110012) Bashful [...]

A bit of Chipboard and More Turquoise …
I used a chipboard circle to make a border for the sentiment on a birthday card today, and I couldn’t help reaching for Tempting Turquoise again! I coloured the chipboard by pressing an ink pad onto it and it looks really good – much better than leaving it bare. Don’t forget – all chipboard is [...]

Thank You card
I wanted to make a little Thank You card for someone and decided to use the cute little bird from Fun and Fast Notes. The sentiment on the stamp wasn’t quite right for the reason I was sending it, so I just wiped off the ink from the last part before I printed onto the card [...]

Birthday Cake Card
I really love the size of Love Notes. They’re so dinky and work so well with the Fun and Fast Notes stamp set. This little birthday cake stamp is so cute and I just had to use pink to colour it using Stampin’ Pastels™. The thing I love most about Stampin’ Pastels™ is that you [...]

Card for a Teenage Boy
I’ve always found making cards for teenage boys so hard! Today I used the star from Fun and Fast Notes, and cut off the ‘congratulations’ sentiment. I used Stampin’ Pastels to colour it. I made a couple of other cards using Fun and Fast Notes as well, which I’ll share over the next few days. [...]

Quick card
I needed to make a very quick card to accept an invitation to a child’s party. What better than the little birdie from Best Wishes and More! I used the Poppin’ Pastels technique for this. I stamped with a VersaMark pad and then used cotton wool to dab on colours from Stampin’ Pastels. I used [...]

St. Valentine’s cards already!
My little boy LOVES to make cards, so he makes them at every opportunity. He’ll be making some for his friends at school for St. Valentine’s day – not, “I love you” ones, but, “Thank you for being my friend” ones. I’ve been playing around with my Stampin’ Up! bits and pieces to come up [...]
